Publisher's Synopsis
Kumbhariya [known anciently as Arasana], now a non-descript hamlet, situated about a mile and half to the south-east of the holy town Ambaji [Banashkanta district, Gujarat] and about 35 kms south east of Mt Abu was an important Jaina site in medieval times. Home to five exquisite Jaina temples and a Sivaite fane, these marble buildings,,sacred to the faithful, were built during the Solanki period between the 11th and late 13th centuries A.D. This work also demonstrates the interiors of the four Jaina temples at Kumbhariya are more ancient than those in the Delvada temples and the variety of the columns and the ceilings equal with the Delvada temples on Mt Abu.
